Head Coach Tommy Amaker
Tommy Amaker (Duke '87) begins his third season as head coach of
the Harvard men's basketball team. He registered his 200th career
coaching victory Nov. 13 in the 2009-10 season opener at Holy
Cross.

He brings a 216-179 career head coaching record
into the game, including a 109-83 record at Michigan at a 68-55
record at Seton Hall.

Amaker came to Harvard after a six year stint as
Michigan's head coach. Inheriting a program that was reeling from
institutional and NCAA sanctions, he led the Wolverines to the
postseason three times, winning the 2004 NIT title, reaching the
championship game of the 2006 NIT, and advancing to the second
round of the 2007 tournament. The 2006-07 season was Michigan's
second straight 20-win campaign and its third in four years. The
Wolverines were ranked as high as No. 20 in the nation during the
2005-06 season.

The Race
Harvard and Cornell meet in a pivotal battle on Friday night in a
wide open Ivy race following the Big Red's shocking 15-point loss
last Friday at a Penn team that was previously winless at home.

Harvard sits one game behind Cornell and Princeton
in the standings despite injury woes that have plagued the Crimson
since its opening weekend of Ivy doubleheaders at Columbia and
Cornell.

Harvard, Cornell and Princeton all control their
own destiny for an Ivy title and its NCAA Tournament's automatic
bid. While that is the goal, the trio is also playing for at-large
selections to a variety of postseason tournaments so losses down
the stretch can be overcome on that front.

Sightings
Despite massive injury problems, Harvard had an impressive weekend
on a variety of fronts with wins at Yale and Brown as its vaunted
freshman class scored 53 and 51 points, respectively, during the
weekend. The team not only showed that it could overcome a depleted
frontcourt - it acclimated to life without star guard Jeremy Lin
who was in foul trouble for much of the weekend.

The team's top three scorers last weekend were
freshmen Kyle Casey, Christian Webster and Brandyn Curry.

On Friday, Lin fouled out during regulation but the
freshmen scored 14 of the team's 16 overtime points. All told,
underclassmen scored the final 21 points for the Crimson in a
victory.

On Saturday, Harvard outscored Brown in the paint,
36-20, and dominated the backboards, 36-19. Doug Miller nearly
outscored three of Brown's forwards single handedly and held Matt
Mullery to seven points.

Harvard also got on track offensively, posting its
10th game this season of shooting better than 50 percent from the
floor (10-0 in those games). Harvard shot 41 percent from long
range (17-42), led by freshmen Christian Webster (6-14, .429) and
Kyle Casey (6-9, .667).

Jeremy Lin for Bob Cousy Award
Jeremy Lin is one of 11 finalists for the Bob Cousy Award, given
to the nation's top point guard. Entering the week, Lin was heavily
in front on the fan voting section of the process but fell back
after a strong fan presence at Kentucky for their candidate, John
Wall.

Lin has 24 percent while Wall is slightly in front with 30
percent. Ronald Moore (Siena, 17.0 %) and Greivis Vasquez
(Maryland, 13.5 %) are the closest competitors Fan voting is open
until March 5.

The Cornell Series
Cornell leads the all-time series, 89-68 with the teams having
split the last seven meetings. The last three games at Lavietes
have all been dramatic with Harvard taking a one-point victory from
the Big Red last season with a defensive stand at the buzzer.

The Last Meeting With Cornell
The first crack in Harvard's armor showed at Cornell three weeks
ago as a tired and injured Crimson could not get on track during a
one-sided loss to Cornell. Harvard committed 25 turnovers in the
game and allowed Cornell to make 12 3-pointers. Since that game,
Harvard has averaged just 11 turnovers per game.

The Columbia Series
Columbia leads the all-time series, 93-70, although Harvard broke
a five-game skid against the Lions last season in Cambridge, Mass.
and continued its winning ways with a lofty 74-45 win in New York
earlier this season.

The Last Meeting With Columbia
Jeremy Lin scored 13 of his game-high 14 points in the first half
and Brandyn Curry scored 13 points in the second half as Harvard
ran away from the Lions. Harvard held Columbia to 33 percent
shooting and a 1-of-11 mark from long range while forcing 17
turnovers.

Since the loss, Columbia has played well with three wins and a
pair of close losses to Princeton and Yale. Its latest game was a
66-62 win at Penn (which had just defeated Cornell by 15) in which
Niko Scott scored 29 points on 7-of-9 shooting from long range.

Road Sweep
Harvard recorded its first Ivy weekend road sweep since the
1999-2000 season with wins at Yale and Brown.

It marked Harvard's first road sweep of Yale and
Brown since 1998-99.

17-WinsWith its win at Brown, the Crimson tied
the second-best wins mark in school history (17) to match the
1996-97 team.

Nine Times?
With its wins at Yale and Brown, Harvard tied a program record
with its ninth road victory.

Last season, Harvard led the Ivy League in road wins with seven.

Harvard has won nine road/neutral games four
different times (1970-71, 1971-72, 1996-97, 2009-10).

Another Notable under Amaker
With its win against Penn, Harvard reached the 15-win mark for the
first time in 13 years since winning 17 back in 1996-97.

Penn-In A "W"
Harvard's win against the Quakers gave the Crimson wins over Penn
in three consecutive seasons, marking the first such occurrence
since 1985-88.
